Bedsore Rescue™ Is Designed to Work

•

Turning works because it reduces pressure. Since the 30-degree lateral side turn position is not a natural angle of rest, the patient needs sufficient stability and distribution of support weight under the back to stay in this position.

Comparison of Pressures in 30-degree Lateral Turned Position by Support Device

Why Conventional Pillows & Wedges Don't Work > Pillows do not maintain stable lift or provide accurate turn angle support. When placed flat, they do not lift enough to get adequate pressure reduction. And they bottom out. When folded, they turn the patient onto the trochanter and place disproportionate pressure on the back, then soon unfolds to flat again from patient shifting and/or sliding.

> Conventional Wedges do not support the patient, they PUSH the patient. The bulky, straight edge design does not conform to the natural curvatures of the spine and pushes from the side because It is not possible to fit UNDER the patient's back. The patients body weight pushes against the wedge which makes it slip away, or the patient shifts to a more comfortable position (usually flat onto the pressure injury. Patients do not get pressure reduction and caregivers give up using it.

> 2-piece wedge systems are too stiff and do not provide even distribution of support weight. Although it is possible to fit smaller wedges under the patient, the foam must be more firm to avoid bottoming out. These wedges are too hard and extremely uncomfortable. Patients complain when they can and want them removed or try to remove themselves. These wedges usually end up on the shelf or in the garbage can.

The Bedsore Rescue™ works better because it cradles the patient. The trick is in the patented crescent shaped bilateral angled design and the high grade 4 way

Why The Bedsore Rescue Cushion Helps Reduce Incidence and Prevalence of Pressure Injuries

> Turning and Repositioning is effective to decrease pressure injury rates because it reducespressure to bony prominences. The Bedsore Rescue Cushion can maintain pressurereduction longer because it is more stable, provides even support, the patient is morecomfortable and can tolerate the position. Increased patient satisfaction and with lesspressure.

> The angle of the Bedsore Rescue Cushion supports an accurate 30-degree angle. Just enough to lift off the sacrum/coccyx but not so far that there is pressure on the shoulder or greater trochanter

> The Bedsore Rescue Cushion flexes with head of bed elevation to maintain support aroundthe curvatures of the back.

> More stability means less turning by staff. More time for patient rest & recuperation andless caregiver time, less lift repetitive motion injuries.

How to Use the Bedsore Rescue Cushion

Comfort Tips

Everybody is different. To find a position that can

achieve maximum comfort & pressure relief,

you may alternate the cushion to fit. Place above or below the

wound, or set closer to the body, or further

away, angle the upper tip closer than lower tip or

visa-versa.

1. Turn as far as possible to the side position.

2. Angle the cushion so the “tips” point towards bed.

3. Press Top upper tip to fit under the scapula (shoulder blade).

4. Press Bottom after placing cushion as desired, press the lower tip under buttocks.

5. Adjust to avoid sacrum/coccyx or wound area. See “Hand Check” suggestion below to achieve good support without touching wounds.

6. Roll Back on cushion. Best to hold cushion in place during roll.

7. Hand Check - Optional: Slide a hand under the cushion to assure proper placement away from pressure points/wounds.
